Abstract
Mumps virus specific antibody concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hemolysis-in-gel (HIG) test, and hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test in 17 adult volunteers before and after vaccination with a new live mumps vaccine, Pariorix. The results of the present study indicate that the strain Urabe-Am 9 of the mumps virus (Pariorix) induces antibodies in 100% of seronegative adults when measured by ELISA and in 70.6% and 64.7% in HIG and HI, respectively. ELISA is therefore a very sensitive and reliable method for the demonstration of sero-conversion after vaccination. The vaccine was well tolerated and clinically acceptable in the group of adult volunteers.
